This place is amazing! The food is excellent and the service is too. I was very impressed with how large the restaurant is and the variety of food, drinks, and sweets they offer. It’s a beautiful place to enjoy a wonderful meal. I can’t wait to return.
We went to your restaurant yesterday for lunch. While the food was good, the prices are quite extravagant for a lunchtime meal. 2 people - $110 - and we didn't order any alcohol or dessert. You should seriously consider having a lunchtime menu.
The Food and desserts are AMAZING!
Maria and Joseph’s service was 5 stars!
Thank You!

Customers have recently enjoyed the restaurant's delicious food and warm hospitality, especially during less busy times. The Turkish breakfast experience, with its fluffy simit, rich clotted cream, and perfectly seasoned olives, has been a standout, transporting diners to Turkey. However, some have noted that the restaurant can get quite busy, leading to slightly slower service and communication challenges. Overall, A Thousand Tales continues to be a popular destination for authentic, flavorful Mediterranean cuisine and a memorable dining experience.
